my life in pictures and words

Custom Order

Last month I showed you the Vikings coloring pad carrying case. A few days after I posted it on Instagram/Facebook, an old classmate of mine inquired about making some for her. She told me what theme she wanted for her two cases and that she wanted me to find fabric for her. The cases were for two girls who love Frozen and Hello Kitty.

Here is the Frozen one. I found both prints at Joann.

I did a little bit of fussy cutting to get Olaf’s face and full body on the flap and pencil holder, respectively.

Here is a close up of where the coloring pad goes.

And a close up of the pocket and pencil case.

The Hello Kitty print was harder to find. There wasn’t any quilting cotton at Joann or online at Joann. I ended up ordering this print off Etsy. It is super cute!! And I’m so glad that I went with this one rather than just settling for a print at Joann.com.

The only print at Hobby Lobby was this all over HK one. I thought it would be cute as the pocket and pencil/pad holder.

And I was right! At least in my opnion. Haha!

Here is where the coloring pad goes.

The two side by side.

After I mailed them to my classmate, I asked her for some feedback. The only thing she suggested was itemizing my invoice to state the price of fabric and price of labor. But quality-wise and concept-wise everything was great. Yay!

What do you think? If you have your maker purchase fabric and everything for you, would you prefer your invoice to be itemized or would you prefer to just see the total?
